Darwin postulated that species change into other species by a gradual collection of mutations wherein the specimens with the'stronger'mutations survive.
I have come to the conclusion Darwinism has failed fundamentally to prove anything it postulated. Yet we are subjected to a daily diet of fairy stories

Darwin actually thought mutations (sports as they were called then) only played a small role in evolution.
He thought the main driving force was from organisms continually being pressured to adapt over generations sort of like Lamarck's idea but much slower.
When scientists eventually discovered that heredity was passed on in discrete units as Gregor Mendel had begun to discover back in Darwin's time it looked like evolution was dead in the water so the evolutionary scientists put their heads together and decided mutations might provide the new
So Neo-darwinism was born. Darwinism took hold because people came to believe that it was the job of science to explain everything the past as well as the present how things began as well as how they operate now.
Science is the study of nature so of course any scientific explanation of how things started can only appeal to natural processes.

Maybe you should disqualify zoologists from winning and ask the proposed winner about their career path.
#What If Darwin Had existed Never? What would a world without Darwin look like? Many have argued that science would have developed much the same.
His theory of evolution by natural selection was in the air at the time an inevitable product of the way people were thinking about themselves
and the world they lived in. If Darwin hadn't proposed it then someone else would have most obviously the naturalist we know as the co-discoverer of natural selection Alfred Russel Wallace.
Events would have unfolded more or less as we know them although without the iconic term Darwinism to denote the evolutionary paradigm.
But Wallace's version of the theory was not the same as Darwin's and he had very different ideas about its implications.
And since Wallace conceived his theory in 1858 any equivalent to Darwin's 1859 Origin of Species would have appeared years later.
There probably would have been an evolutionary movement in the late nineteenth century but it would have been based on different theoretical foundations--theories that were tried actually out in our own world
and that for a time were thought to overshadow Darwin's. The impact of Darwin's theory was limited not to science itself.
Darwinism was rescued eventually when the new science of genetics undermined the plausibility of the rival theories of evolution following the rediscovery of Mendel's laws of heredity in 1900.
I suspect that in a world without Darwin it would have taken until the early twentieth century for the theory of natural selection to come to the attention of most biologists.
In our world evolutionary developmental biology had to challenge the simpleminded gene-centered Darwinism of the 1960s to generate a more sophisticated paradigm.
The impact of Darwin's theory was limited of course not to science itself--it has been seen as a major contributor to the rise of materialism and atheism.
In the eyes of its critics Darwin's theory of natural selection inspired generations of social thinkers and ideologues to promote harsh policies known as social Darwinism.
Creationists frequently claim that Darwin was directly responsible for generating the vision of Aryan racial superiority that inspired the Nazis to attempt the extermination of the Jews.
Apparently it is not enough for critics to challenge Darwinism on allegedly scientific grounds--they contend that it is also immoral and hence dangerous.
what happens in a world without Darwin is driven by the hope of using history to undermine the claim that the theory of natural selection inspired the various forms of social Darwinism.
The world in which Darwin did not write the Origin of Species would have experienced more or less all of our history's social and cultural developments.
because the real-world opponents of Darwinism were active in lending support to the ideologies most of us now find so distasteful.
In the world without Darwin the horrors would still exist but the theory of natural selection would not have the bogeyman image associated with it by its critics
We need to think harder about the wider tensions in our culture responsible for the ideologies that came to have the inoffensive Darwin as their figurehead.

All rights reserved. What if anything lol. Evolution'theory'would of develop anyways yes. But evolution is not the only answer to the development of life On earth either.
The same would be true of the theory of evolution. Sometimes you have to step away from those around you to clearly see the thing you re observing;
They have happened many many times in the past before Darwin (and others) came along. The reasons are endless
but are in transition for their future descendants to have working wings to support Darwins theory.
because each time a discovery is made we try to fit it into Darwins model but it don't exactly fit
So Darwin would have been had better off he jumped overboard.@@nabone it is important to have a least a fundamental grasp of evolution...
In spite of your ill-will towards Darwin the evidence was always there to be discovered and would have been regardless.
While Darwin was first to publish a coherent theory of biological evolution and he deserves much credit for doing
The theory of evolution would likely have emerged from other sources --or it wouldn't. In either case it doesn't really matter.
There is not enought randomness in nature to support Darwins claims. For every species that is camouflage there are a hundred in brilliant colors saying I am here eat me.
Modern opponents to Darwin are so ignorant of what the man was about they do not realize they have more in common with Darwin than Evolutionists do.
Darwin had the same concerns they do. He said To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances for admitting different amounts of light
and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration could have been formed by natural selection seems I freely confess absurd in the highest degree.
Darwin was ignorant about DNA just like Creationists are. Modern Evolutionists give Darwin credit for having the right idea
but the flimsy evidence Darwin had at the time was mocked then and would still be mocked today
just as Creationists are mocked Darwin had no way of showing that all animals were related much less plants and animals.
Evolutionists can simply use DNA to show that all life on the planet is based on similar DNA
Darwin would be concerned just as about the moral and spiritual implications of modern genetics as Creationists are.
So why do Creationists continue to attack Darwin a man who was as afraid of his own discoveries as they are today
while ignorantly chowing down on genetically modified organisms that would have made Darwin throw up his organically grown lunch?
Yes even if Darwin never existed it is human nature to fabricate a story and sell it as truth when we don't have the answer to something just like the creationist
Because Darwin theory has been accepted widely as truth in the scientific community it is difficult to treat data objectively
What if Darwin had existed never Well they probably wouldn't be called the Darwin awards but the same people would still win. www. youtube. com/watch?
If Darwin never existed then none of us would ever know the joy of being a monkeys uncle rofl...
if Darwin had existed not or had died prior to writing Origin of the Species. To assume someone else would have offered the same concept
Whether folks were working on similar ideas during the time of Darwin is not relevant (i e. the moment in time when an idea bore fruit.
The beatification of Darwin as a sort of minor god in science is more of a cornerstone for secular progressives-than a fact of science.
Poor ole Darwin barely got his thesis in under the wire. Several other credentialed scientist were diddling with the concept.
Darwin cooked some books (burned a letter)- got published (more or less first) and spent the rest of his life in litigation.
Science (such as it was had compiled enough observations to make this theoretical leap with or without Darwin.
Darwin didn't do a particularly bad job of it. His thesis stood up well-well based on many of his own personal observations.
Still Darwin was one of his own greatest detractors. Evolution (as appealing as it is to the secular mind) simply doesn't have enough smoke
But Even Darwin lost sleep over this. Just consider an eye. Some where some thing sloshing around completely unaware of light-decides that vision would be a survival advantage.
What I believe that Darwin stumbled upon (and Mendelssohn too-for that matter) is genetic adaptability. There does appear to be excess code
Evolutionary theory would have developed in the absence of Charles darwin. Indeed Charles darwin's theory of evolution was highly similar to the theory proposed by his own uncle Erasmus Darwin decades earlier.
Charles darwin's main contribution was not his theory but rather his experimental evidence that he collected to support it.
In the same way that Darwin did not invent evolutionary theory or more to the point that evolutionary theory was a product of the general intellectual gestalt of the time so too was social Darwinism.
If Charles darwin's work had existed never the intellectuals would have to have invented him. Class warfare race warfare constructive destruction survival of the fittest Machiavellian manipulation violent revolution and revolt were
(and often still are considered the birth places of new life new order new worlds. Darwin was both a symptom and a contributor to this general sense.
The Nazis did not become racists because of Darwin but they were happy to use his work to further their cause
because it meshed so well with their own agenda. Well it should! Germany at the time was virtually bursting at the seams with the very intellectuals who championed the great purges that consume the dross
and these people were all across Europe. France certainly thought highly of their own revolutionary accomplishments in this department;
or lived for a while in Paris). You cannot divorce Darwin from Nazi racial theories so easily as claiming that Darwin merely told a sterile scientific truth that the Nazis happened to hijack.
Darwin saw what he saw through the lens of his time and place just as the Nazis did
Darwin made observations in nature and published it as a theory. had done he not so somebody else would have.
The fact that the Nazis used Darwinism was just opportunistic they used religions even Germanic mythologies as well.
Darwin had nothing to do with the thinking of the Nazis and there is considerable time between them anyhow.
American entomologists studying the effect in the 1940s noted the bed bugs could hardly be induced to move from the leaves
A new very important study in the Journal of Zoology found that the way cats--specifically the European wildcat--mark is intentional and particular.
(which Darwin himself had pondered.)They would be better off in serving their intelligent design cause by pointing out the difficulty of explaining how to achieve complete functional spores
Takes just as much faith to believe in the Theory of evolution as it does to believe in the Theory of God Created Chickens.
Every year for the past 30 years researchers have been acting like urban Darwins observing cliff swallows in Nebraska
Darwin thumping fundamentalists like you need to bring something to the table here. The article above just shows a small change hardly evidence for the grand theory of evolution which took microbes to man.@
@democedes. Yes thank you for clarifying proof was not the right word here. The thought was to convey personal surety not scientific fact.
Why is there any surprise this issue is almost identical to that of the Theory of evolution? The lines are drawn the same as well.
